What Is a Campervan?
A campervan is a van that has been converted for living and sleeping, typically featuring a bed, basic kitchen (hob, sink, fridge), storage and often a pop-top or high-top roof for standing room. They range from simple weekend campers to fully equipped homes on wheels.
Types of Campervan
- Pop-top campervan — Standard roof height for daily driving, pop-up roof for sleeping and headroom at camp
- High-top campervan — Permanent raised roof with full standing height
- Panel van conversion — A standard panel van professionally or self-converted with living quarters
- Classic VW campervan — Iconic split-screen and bay window models that hold their value exceptionally well
Popular Campervan Base Vehicles
The Volkswagen Transporter T5/T6 is the most popular modern campervan base in the UK. The Ford Transit Custom, Mercedes Vito and Fiat Ducato are also widely converted. Browse VW vans for sale or Ford vans on Vans4Sale.
Buying a Campervan: What to Check
- Conversion quality — Professional conversions usually come with certification. DIY conversions need careful inspection
- Gas and electrical — Ensure gas installations have a valid Gas Safe certificate and electrical systems are properly fused
- Insulation — Good insulation and ventilation prevent condensation and mould
- Weight — Fully loaded weight must stay within the GVW. Weigh the van with all kit aboard
- MOT class — Campervans may need a class 4 or 7 MOT depending on weight
